Risks

Some laser surgery is done when you are asleep and pain free (general anesthesia). Talk to your health care provider about risks of laser surgery.

After the Procedure

The success of laser surgery depends on the condition being treated. Talk to your provider about what you can expect.

Talk to your provider about skin care following treatment. You may need to keep your skin moisturized and out of the sun.

Outlook (Prognosis)

Recovery time depends on the surgery and your overall health. Ask your provider before treatment how much recovery time you will need. Also ask about how many treatments you'll need to achieve your goal.
